I prefer the latter also, but what about breaking existing scripts that
might use the former?

The only one that does is overload.t ;-). While I sent the patch that
implemented Overload.pm half a year ago, nobody noticed it,
apparently.

Not entirely true--see NETaa13769, installed on the Ides of March.

Thanks, Larry, I know this, but nobody sent any comment/bug report
with this syntax in place.

It's not just you, Ilya. The same things happened to
MakeMaker 5.00, Jack's Socket module, Devel::DProf, my Configure
patches, etc. etc. That was one of the reasons I assembled all those
pieces into patch.1n.

Of course, I missed yours :-( Sorry. It certainly wasn't intentional.

I'll get NETaa13769 and install it in my copy.
